There are 34 poems by Enily Dickinson. This one is very special, The word “death” in the beginning line of this poem is not capitalized. There are two “death”s in this poem.
The first one, “death” is not capitalized, which can be seen as normal “death” — departure from the living, opposite to birth.
While the second one, “Death” is capitalized, which is thought as a Certain person, whose name should be capitalized. Could anyone give me another understanding? Thanks.
